It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad Dog World

Today is bittersweet. Football great, media personality, businessman, and all-around good guy Jim Mandich has lost his battle with cancer. Mercifully, he suffers no more. My heart goes out to his family.

Even while suffering through his own illness and treatment, Jim took the time to raise money for cancer awareness during a bike ride to benefit the UM Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Research Center

I met Jim years ago at a remote broadcast at a local bar. During a break, my husband asked him which ring he wears. Jim promptly handed him his 1972 superbowl ring, the one from the only undefeated season in football history, and returned to his broadcast.

Jim was gracious, generous, and grateful for all the gifts in his life. Jim lived.

We’ll miss you, Mad Dog.
